298. IS TOOTH

I hereby suggest the initiative IS TOOTH, thought withdrawal from the development of programs and opportunities-developed in education and training.

Thus, IS TOOTH could self-finance itself through the conduit of the various contributions made to the state by oral health professionals and by channeling funds provided by the current state budget for the prevalence of oral health, to ensure a specialized consultation monthly symbolic value (20 euros) to each child or youth enrolled in public school.

It is proposed that necessarily needs to be crafted and stitched, I find it very positive and to be the way forward in Portugal to overcome the serious problem of current public health that affect a large majority of children and youth of the country.

Leave your comment to this suggestion: it could be a starting point for everyone to sit round the same table and finally understand what is at stake in the health and lives of very large margin of the population, is now in the hands of politicians and professionals oral health unwilling or unable to resolve this problem and give the right to a natural smile to all children and young people.

For me and with the launch of this initiative, within 10 years there would be no children or teenagers with problems of oral health in Portugal.
